"First, I would like to thank CNN for discussing this case. I am in the US and worked in the Defense/aerospace industry for over a decade. One major question that the US must answer – Where were the security protocol and security staff that allowed any mainframes or systems to sit wide open without their passwords addressed and reviewed ? That is a serious breach of security. One would have to ask if this was a deliberate vulnerability meant to sting someone or to distribute disinfo to hackers CNN – your article failed to address the key element that Gary McKinnon was not seeking nuclear weapons codes or troop movements – he was looking for UFO files. UFO files ! Millions of folks would love to see if they exist – and any kid who grew up with the Xfiles etc, dream of hacking the 'secret UFO files' and that is not some terrorist issue – it is part of our culture and our mass media mentality Gary got into dangerously unprotected systems and in fact left his email address – no malicious intruder would do that The US should have to identify those responsible for this security failure and what repercussion and reprimands were handed out And why did Gary find some outrageous UFO ET related files unless they were put there as a sting or lure some poor kid into crime – Remember claiming unsubstantiated damage is also a crime too – and like the recent exaggerations concerning a Chinese student who wrote a paper about US power grid vulnerabilities – (see Chinese Academics' Paper on Cyberwar Sets Off Alarms in U.S. – NYTimes.com ) where that young Chinese student was lambasted in the US Congress and named as a cyber warrior and threat ? over a standard cyber power system analysis ! Exaggeration and hyperbolic claims abound in the very profitable 'Homeland Security' industrial contract world Here we have a young man in the UK who remarkably was able to simply waltz into Army and Pentagon and NASA files looking for proof of UFO's and he becomes a cause for the US Justice system to spend millions trying to render him and what send him to – where GITMO ?? If Gary had truly performed a strategic intrusion – he would have been 'picked up' and flown to the US or a US base in the UK and offered a great job with the NSA or MI 6 Instead he was warned he would face local community service for his indiscretion and then later the situation was blown up by the US lawyers Why ? to justify some huge expenditure for a new security fix or contract – which should have been already covered by routine security protocols ?? Or is the exaggeration of this breach been intended to further distract from the real breaches that go on every day and never make the paper or the courts? Frankly , this extradition – which is a one sided questionably legal agreement under NATO and EU guidelines and laws and treaties – (where the US can make demands for extradition which are NOT reciprocal ) – this did get the info into the news that Gary had discovered some so called incredible ET related alternative space program files and spread this 'news' out there in the internet ether to muddy the waters of truth and UFO study facts Gary and his mum have suffered enough The US Justice system should have to reveal what they have spent on this circus and identify the Pentagon/NASA and Army brass and officials at fault for the breach and move on to deal with real issues and threats and malfeasance. I am sure enough contracts and profits have already been made on this high profile show case – ostensibly issued to fix what is a simple case of US security malfeasance and incompetence. Carolyn Rose Goyda Peace, Hugs, and Purrs, Connect the World: Blog Archive - Tuesday's Connector: Janis Sharp « - Blogs from CNN.com She's the mother of Gary McKinnon - a British computer hacker accused of perpetrating the largest military hack of all time. Although not yet found guilty, McKinnon has been at the center of an international extradition case that has lasted nearly four years - his mother Janis Sharp has been alongside him every step of the way. McKinnon was first accused of hacking into a number of U.S. military sites including the Department of Defence, the U.S. Army and NASA in 2001 and 2002. Authorities claimed that McKinnon deleted important files and accessed classified information and subsequently his actions shut down numerous computer networks as well as costing the government nearly a million dollars to fix the problem. McKinnon has admitted breaking into computers at NASA and the Pentagon. While McKinnon is currently in the UK, the U.S. government has been trying for several years to have him extradited. After legal hearings in 2006, the UK agreed to extradite McKinnon, but his lawyers appealed the decision and the case is still being heard. One of the key reasons lawyers are fighting McKinnon's extradition is because the 44-year-old has been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. People with Asperger syndrome suffer difficulty in social relationships, communication, and social imagination, according to The National Autistic Society in Britain. Asperger syndrome may often include having special interests and becoming anxious if a routine is broken. McKinnon's mother, Janis Sharp has been leading a massive campaign to fight calls for her son's extradition. There's a Facebook group with over 700,000 members opposed to McKinnon's extradition. David Gilmour from Pink Floyd, along with Bob Geldof and Chrissie Hynde have also produced a song called "Chicago - Change the World" in support of McKinnon. Here's your chance to ask the mother of Gary McKinnon a question. Please post your questions below and remember to include where you're writing from.
